Hokenshitsu no Shinigami 1 (1 comments)

EDIT: forgot to mention, I'm only doing one or two chapters of this... I'm not planning to pick it up as a weekly series, due to time constraints. So prospective TLers, please take over any time :) (Ideally, PM me or something so we don't duplicate our efforts!) Someone's taking over :)

Notes:
- Feel free to use, but please credit
- Since this is a Japanese setting, I will be preserving *some* honorifics and leaving 'shinigami' untranslated.
- The teacher's name is pronounced 'hah-deh-su', and this has been romanised as Hades.
- To PRs: You'll notice I capitalise certain titles (Vice-principal, Sensei) sometimes, and other times I don't. If the title is used to address the person directly, it's... Read More " "

Jio to Ougon to Kinjirareta Mahou 1 (3 comments)

Seeing as this fun manga is being neglected, I figured I could squeeze out a translation for chapter one... and hopefully some other people will pick it up. There's no way I can do weekly translations.

Oh, and the translations open for everyone to use. I just ask that you credit me, and please don't do a shoddy job of cleaning/TSing :)

To scanlators If you have already started typesetting, please note that I've made some changes in pages 1, 8 and 12.

Sidonia no Kishi 1 (1 comments)

Kinda surprised we managed to get this release out so fast, while Blood Cross lags way behind. And any funky characters you can't read on your computer are courtesy of Hindi words.

Oh yeah, it's SIDONIA no Kishi, not Cydonia no Kishi.

Bloody Cross 1 (2 comments)

First things first: this translation is reserved for Vagrant Scans.

Seriously, you do not want to cross me on this. Spent so many freakin' hours doing this, my brain is screaming bloody murder right now. Why so many pages???

Anyway, there'll be mistakes and such which will be fixed at a later date. I just need a little time away from this right now.

-------------

Momose speaks in third person, which is more of a 'cute-sy' way of speaking. But I'll use first person, because no one speaks third person in English.

Blue text are areas that require assistance.
Black text are areas of uncertainty, i.e. lower priority.

Black Lagoon 66 (1 comments)

Originally intended to be a set of corrections to Faires' translation, which got a bit too long. Hopefully I won't be making a habit of this.

Not quite sure how to romanise シェーン. Shen VS Sham VS Sam? I went with the last, since Sam's a more usual American name.

Edit: the things you learn... 'over and out' is wrong!

----------

Blue lines are places I'm uncertain about

Formatting's a little different from what I usually do:

Line in bubble
Line in sub-bubble

New whole bubble

Hopefully it's intuitive enough :/

It's a miracle! A manga with decent English?! What's the world come to?

Disclaimer: this was done running on 4 hours sleep, in a 6 hour marathon (I did do other stuff in between). So expect mistakes.

Black Japanese text means uncertainty.

Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro 186 (2 comments)

Some notes about Aya:
- Aya has a tendency to call people by their traits/characteristics: Miss Detective (tantei-san), Mr. Assistant (-san) and Mr. Homeless (homuresu-san), so I'm keeping the honorifics even if it sounds a little odd.
- Early chapters had Aya calling Yako 'Ms. Detective', then it changed to 'Ms. Investigator'. I went with detective, but feel free to change. Oh, and Miss, because really, Yako is unmarried. Officially anyway ;)
- 'Assistant' because that's the term Aya uses in early chapters

The past few weeks have been made up of such epicness I couldn't resist translating this week. Go read Neuro if you haven't already done so!! If I were so buried in work and other translations, I'd start doing this weekly.

MAJOR spoilers ahead, so prepare yourself...

Also, if anyone knows the proper names of electrical mains rooms etc., please correct me if I get things wrong.

PS Not quite sure how the new system works. The chapter number doesn't display in the 'Latest Translation' box?

I don't have the (full) scans for this manga, but if anyone does please send me a note or comment here. Scanlators, I'll check with my friend whether they want to scanlate this or not before opening this up to you guys.

As a side note, it'd be amazing if someone could transcribe this. Typing everything out is driving me up the wall =_=
